C26 He Is Right (1/2)

Xiao Yunyi didn't pay attention to the other party's surprised gaze as he greeted him before leaving with Lan Xi.

This action, in the eyes of that person, made him have more thoughts. This was the first time Xiao Yunyi introduced a woman to an outsider. He even said that this person was his friend; this was big news.

After getting on the carriage, Lan Xi pulled Xiao Yunyi by the hand and uncomfortably rubbed his hand.

Seeing her actions, Xiao Yunyi knew that he had used too much strength just now. He coughed uncomfortably, ”It's almost time. Let's go.”

Lu Zihao, who was sitting in front, answered and drove.

Xiao Yunyi and Lan Xi sat in the back. The two of them were separated by a person's distance, so they both tilted their heads to the side, not looking at each other.

Xiao Yunyi didn't know why he had introduced Lan Xi to his friends, but he felt that this wasn't enough.

When he thought of that person's identity, he became irritated. That person was famous in the circle for not hiding anything. Once he found out about something, the entire circle would quickly know about it. And Lan Xi wouldn't be able to hide her identity.

”That person from before …” After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yunyi finally spoke, ”You don't need to bother with him. You might not meet him again in the future. You don't have to care what he says or what you hear from others. ”

Afraid that Lan Xi would be under psychological pressure, Xiao Yunyi intentionally gave her a precaution.

However, those words didn't seem to mean anything to Lan Xi. Lan Xi felt that Xiao Yunyi said this because he didn't want others to misunderstand their relationship.

After all, she was only his friend, and in the eyes of others, he had a childhood sweetheart by his side.

”I know, don't worry.” Lan Xi replied stiffly.

Xiao Yunyi felt that her attitude wasn't right, but since they were already at the Xiao family's residence, he didn't say anything.

Following closely behind Xiao Yunyi, Lan Xi didn't even glance at him. Xiao Yunyi was very satisfied with her behavior, but it was funny to see her being as cautious as a little animal.

Xiao Yunyi walked into the main hall with that smile on his face.

Xiao Jianan was currently watching the international news while sipping his tea. When he saw the two enter, he only raised his head slightly, but didn't even glance at Lan Xi. It was an unapproachable look. However, the old man was muttering to himself that Xiao Yunyi was actually smiling.

Xiao Jianan remembered that Xiao Yunyi had always been a person of importance since he was young. When he grew up, he would always keep a cold smile on his face. It was rare to see him interested in anything, so the number of times he laughed became even less. He didn't expect her to be smiling today. It seemed that this woman was indeed not ordinary.

Old Man Xiao didn't speak, while Xiao Yunyi and Lan Xi stood to the side.

Xiao Yunyi looked like he was used to it, but Lan Xi felt very awkward. In the past, when she took missions, people would often ignore her, so she had learned to read other's expressions.

”Director Xiao, didn't you bring a present for Old mister Xiao when you came? Hurry and take it out for the old man to see. ”

Lan Xi took the initiative to speak up. She looked at Xiao Yunyi with a smile on her face, but her eyes were urging him to quickly resolve this awkward situation.

Ye Ci made eye contact with Lan Xi, indicating that she understood.

Xiao Yunyi sat on the sofa beside Xiao Jianan and also pulled Lan Xi to his side. Afterwards, he asked Lu Zihao to bring out the box he had brought from the antique shop.

”Take a look, grandfather. This is your present.”
